Welcome to WOW's 2014 Season!

Magical light displays make this special time even more joyous!

The Wonders of Winter (WOW) has been a beloved holiday tradition in the Region of Waterloo. We have over 100,000 lights and more than 100 displays. The festival runs from November 29 (Opening night) to December 31, 2013 in Waterloo Park, Waterloo ON. Come and join us and be a part of it – bring the family! Look for our new displays. Send us your favorite photo to post on our Fan Photo Page. Check us out on Facebook!

We would love to see your images!
